News From Treasurer Jordan.

Jordan, who is NY in Paris, saying that he
will visit Londcr about the 10Th instant, and
that he expects II ,ail for New York on the 2lst
instant. He says that ex.Secretary Manning
arrived In England In much better health
than when he left New York. and that his
visit TO Bouremouth was arranged before his
departure from this country, and was not, as
has been generally supposed, the result of a
relapse or any thing of the kind. II Is thought
now that Mr.. Jordau's successor will not be
appointed until after mis- return to Washington

Several years ago negro came to me for
treatment of a very severe sore throat. / cau-
terized 1t once, twice, three times, and without
other than Temporary benefit On the fourth
visit he made my office l told him. after u
thorough examination, that he had contracted
blood poisoning. He confessed that he had;
but said doctor had cured him with black
pills-mercury, of course. Finding the foul
and fearful disease yet In his system, thought
j would just experiment on him and ses VI
there was any virtue in the favorable reports
i had been hearing for years OF SwifI's Specific,
60 put him under treatment of nothing but
s. $, s. Four large bottles completely cured
him. aud left his throat as beautifully healed
as could desire.
Since then have used 8. s. 8. In numerous
cases In my practice, and have never failed
TO make a safe. perfect and permanent cure,
where the patients have follow cd your direc.
tions faithfully.
1t Is because of these remarkable cures that
j have made In my own practice with s. s. y.
that cheerfully send you this testimony of
Swift Specifics sure success IN all such cases.
Those who know the almost inevitable, per-
manently dangerous effects of mercury will
welcome your discovery of s. 8, $. as boon to
humanity. The medical profession, always
wary OF proprietary medicines Ia coming
slowly, and in some cases secretly, to the use
OF 8. 8, s. In cases of blood disorder. OF course

How Wealth Tries tn Make Assurance
DoubIy sure-Locks aud Safes.
II is a long way, in fact, from the
simple conlrivances Of classic times for
protecting ready wealth TO the Golfers
and money chests, the secret drawers
and guarded treasures of Florence and
Venice. And from them il is still a
longer one through the clumsy safes and
rude locks of the last century to the pres
ent almost perfect treasure vaults, proof
against lire or flood. against both sharp
edged tools and any charges OF powder or
dynamite that a burglar may safely use.
The present safety vault has of course
grown out of the old safe, and IL really
only a perfected modern bank safe on an
enlarged plan. The average slfe is an
iron and steel box. some four 10 six feet
in height by four feet in breadth and
depth. u has a thick door, made in half
a dozen layers Of unequal sinc. heavily
bolted together, and opens by a combina-
ton Of movements on an exterior knob.

Decay of Building stones.

The rapid decay and destruction Of
building stones is a matter Of common
experience. Mr.. 7. Eggleston has de-
scribed somewhat the causes leading to
them. He finds that many limcstones
that are most liable TO disintegrate,
either in the finished monument or yet
in the ledge, are mixtures Of true lime
stone and dolomitic limestone. and the
crumbling is due to the more soluble
nature Of the limestone. which is re-
moved by the percolating carbonated
waters, thus undermining the dolomitic
grains. Chicago Tribune.
